2021 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon

"Beautiful and dark, quite captivating heady aromas - liquorice, aniseed, vanilla, cedar, blackcurrant, blackcurrant leaf, some herbal tones and floral elements as well. Supple and forward, this is lithe and sprightly despite the clear heft and power behind the wine. Tannins are so fine and well integrated, it's more the flavours need to soften for me - still quite oak influenced with some ripe blackcurrant and cool blueberries mixing together. It feels polished if not so characterful right now. Lovely high-resolution details on show, you really can feel the precision. I think this will be a beautiful wine in time and this has such a long finish with clear flavour still evident after a few minutes. I'd love to sit and leave this open for a few hours and come back to it to see some evolution." - Georgina Hindle (02/2024)
